What participants can expect to learn in this workshop

Participants will be introduced to robotic motion control via the HAL plugin for grasshopper. Participants will learn to orchestrate a robotic work cell with custom tooling to produce a series of dimensionally unique steam bent parts. Participants will be introduced the potential of real time feedback in robotic fabrication.

Participants will assist in the design and fabrication of a full-scale timber frame prototype (roughly 3m x 3m x 2m) which introduces fundamental concepts in robotic machining and assembly.

Prerequisites

Familiarity with Rhino 5.0 and Grasshopper, programming or scripting skills not necessary.
Participants are required to bring their own laptops (with Rhino 5.0 and most recent Grasshopper release), HAL plugin will be provided by workshop presenters.
